God's Special Possession

Pastor Jonathan cracks open the old question, "Why does God choose certain people, and could that really include you?" He shows how being God’s treasured possession comes not from effort or spiritual performance but from the price Jesus paid. This is not a call to get it all together; it’s a real invitation to be found, to belong, and to believe you matter. Show up as you are. Here, you’ll find family, acceptance, and a place to call home. Bible ReferencesExodus 19:5, 21:32; Numbers 5:15; Deuteronomy 7:6-8; Psalm 24:1; Song of Solomon 6:3; Hosea 3:1-3; John 3:16, 13:17; Romans 5:18-19, 12:1-2; 2 Corinthians 8:9; 1 Peter 1:3-4, 1:17-20, 2:9, 2:24, 5:5 Key InsightsBeing God’s treasured possession is a gift, not a reward for spiritual achievement.God’s love assigns value even when you feel ordinary or overlooked.Accepting unearned grace leads to humility, not pride.Treasuring God transforms the way you endure hardship and share faith with others. Key Sections00:00:00 - Welcome and Announcements This is the last Midweek gathering as we head into summer. Be sure to join us for the kickoff of Celebrate Recovery on July 30. Midweek gatherings will resume on August 6. 00:02:15 - Realizing Our Identity We are precious to God, not because of what we do, but because of His great love. This love encourages us to be brave and hopeful, even when we face challenges. 00:05:07 - Understanding Unconditional Love It's natural to wonder why God picks us, but the Bible shows that His love is given freely without conditions. This humbles us and invites us to accept it instead of trying hard to gain His approval. 00:11:06 - Embracing Obedient Response History shows that even God's people often fail. However, the promise of being His special treasure is guaranteed for everyone through Jesus. This changes obedience from something to earn into a way to respond with thankfulness. 00:14:05 - The Cost and Gift of Redemption God demonstrates His value and mercy through Christ’s sacrifice to redeem what was already His. This is shown in stories of forgiven debts and the prophetic symbol of Hosea’s never-ending love. 00:21:24 - Remembering and Living Out the Gift Treasure always has meaning, even if it is hidden or lost. Pastor Jonathan uses examples we can relate to, showing that our value comes from the Owner. Being found changes how we live daily and how we connect with others. 00:31:10 - Sharing and Radiating Our Treasure Being loved by God makes us want to share what we have. We can see this in the simple stories of kids sharing their faith. These stories encourage us to let God's love flow freely, without feeling shy or reluctant. https://springhousemidweek.captivate.fm/episode/gods-special-possession Subscribe & Follow the Podcast Download our app Our Website Online Tithes & Offerings Join our Livestream Gathering TimesSundays, 9:00 AMSundays, 11:00 AMThursdays, 6:00 PM Contact InfoSpringhouse Church14119 Old Nashville HighwaySmyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License 2070006

A Holy Nation

We all want to live with meaning, but striving for “enoughness” on our own usually leaves us drained and defensive. Pastor Jonathan draws us into the story of Isaiah—wrecked in God’s holy presence, forced to confront blind spots he never knew he had. It’s more than a moment of confession. It’s a journey of surrender, where every hidden fracture meets the kind of honest grace that actually changes us. Holiness isn’t for the perfect or the privileged. It’s for you, me, and anyone willing to face broken places and let them become the entry point for healing. You’re invited to move from just managing shame or hiding behind effort into real growth—a growth that only happens when you let your guard down and let God do what only He can do. Scriptures Referenced: Exodus 3:1-6; 2 Chronicles 26:1; Psalm 145:17; Proverbs 9:10; Isaiah 6:1-8, 57:15; Ezekiel 1:26-28; Amos 9:11; Romans 8:11, Galatians 5:18-24; 1 Peter 1:1-2, 1:14-15, 2:7-8, 2:11, 4:3; Hebrews 4:16; Revelation 4:8 Key InsightsAwareness of God’s holiness leads us to true self-examination and surrender.Holiness forms us through the ongoing, sometimes painful, process of healing blind spots.Spiritual growth is never a solo achievement. It’s a work of the Spirit, not self-effort.Real change becomes visible to others not when we “try harder,” but when we are “ruined” and changed by His presence. Key Sections00:00:00 - Ruined in God’s Presence Even the “good” feel exposed when God draws near, and sometimes what undoes us is actually what saves us. 00:04:41 - The Danger of Familiarity It’s easy to inherit faith traditions and forget reverence—until pride makes us stumble. Recognize the subtle drift before it blinds you. 00:07:30 - Surrender versus Self-Righteousness Our efforts to look spiritual often lead to burnout and hypocrisy, but there’s a better way on the other side of honest surrender. https://springhousemidweek.captivate.fm/episode/A Holy Nation Subscribe & Follow the Podcast Download our app Our Website Online Tithes & Offerings Join our Livestream Gathering TimesSundays, 9:00 AMSundays, 11:00 AMThursdays, 6:00 PM Contact InfoSpringhouse Church14119 Old Nashville HighwaySmyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License 2070006

A Royal Priesthood

Feel like your life is pulled in too many directions? There’s a constant buzz of distraction, frustration with the world around you, and the fear that your efforts aren’t making any real difference. The pressure to react—to defend, to control, to “fix”—often drowns out the deeper call. Pastor Jonathan speaks a truth few want to confront: you were never ordinary. Your moments of anger, stress, and even your quiet, unseen actions can become sacred ground. The invitation isn’t to hide your frustration or pretend it away, but to dress it in something new. Where others see routine, you have the chance to carry the presence that turns any place, any task, any interaction into holy ground. Every act of kindness, every brave moment of restraint, and every time you choose mercy over retaliation matter. Scriptures Referenced: Exodus 19:5-6; Exodus 20:8-9, 26:1, 27:16, 32:7; Romans 12:1, 15:16; 1 Samuel 5:1; 1 Peter 2:1-9, 5:5; Hebrews 8:5, 13:15-16; Ephesians 5:2. Key InsightsPriesthood is not for a few select leaders but for every believer carrying God's presence into daily life.Authority comes not from titles but from intimacy with Christ—what you wear inside shows on the outside.Every ordinary place can become a sacred opportunity to reflect Christ through your actions and words.True transformation happens when you lay down your need to control and pick up the quiet power of humble service. Key Sections00:01:51 - Wear the True Identity Ever catch yourself believing that spiritual authority belongs to “experts” or people with special titles? Notice the ease with which comparisons steal your confidence. 00:05:15 - Reflect the King’s Beauty When daily habits feel monotonous and unseen struggles weigh heavy, it’s easy to think what’s hidden in you doesn’t matter. But what if both exposed and secret places are tailor-made to reveal God’s glory? 00:18:19 - Everyday Places Become Sacred Pastor Jonathan presses into the ache of daily insignificance, revealing the breakthrough perspective that everywhere a royal priest sets foot, God’s presence intends to break in. Even interruptions are sacred setups for spiritual impact. https://springhousemidweek.captivate.fm/episode/a-royal-priesthood Subscribe & Follow the Podcast Download our app Our Website Online Tithes & Offerings Join our Livestream Gathering TimesSundays, 9:00 AMSundays, 11:00 AMThursdays, 6:00 PM Contact InfoSpringhouse Church14119 Old Nashville HighwaySmyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License 2070006

A Chosen People

Ever feel like failure or weakness disqualifies you from purpose? Most of us carry stories marked by moments when we were left out or came up short. We fight for worthiness, hoping our strengths will finally earn us a place of belonging. Pastor Jonathan opens his story wide, blending honest memories with the surprising reversal found in grace. He explains that being chosen isn't about being amazing. It's about being loved enough to be taken from old stories and failures into a new way of living. God uses the overlooked and the broken, not just despite their flaws, but through them. In the middle of disappointment and even suffering, you can discover the power of a new identity and the rest that comes from leaning all your weight on the presence of God. Scriptures ReferencedExodus 33:15-16, 33:18-23; Mark 6:35; John 21:15-19; Acts 2:5-10, 16:6-7; Romans 8:18, 8:28; 1 Corinthians 1:26-30; Ephesians 6:14; 1 Peter 1:1-7, 1:13-14, 2:9, 4:12-14; James 1:2-4 Key InsightsGod chooses and equips us in our weakness, not our strength.Acceptance does not depend on past performance or outward status.Suffering is not meaningless when seen through the lens of belonging.The presence of God defines our purpose, not our circumstances. Key Sections00:00:00 - Called to Belong Feeling unworthy runs deep when every past rejection echoes in your story. Pastor Jonathan exposes how that ache is answered not by achievement, but by being wanted in ways that run deeper than circumstance. 18:43:00 - Rooted in a New Identity The fear of being an outsider fades as you see how God’s voice calls you chosen, bringing you into a family not because you got it right, but because Christ’s love writes a new story over your past. 24:18:00 - Suffering with Hope Questions about suffering never really resolve by “thinking positive.” You find here an honest path for faith that can bear the weight of pain and still expect the goodness of God to shine in the dark. https://springhousemidweek.captivate.fm/episode/a-chosen-people Subscribe & Follow the Podcast Download our app Our Website Online Tithes & Offerings Join our Livestream Gathering TimesSundays, 9:00 AMSundays, 11:00 AMThursdays, 6:00 PM Contact InfoSpringhouse Church14119 Old Nashville HighwaySmyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License 2070006

Planks & Specks / Fruit & Trees

It’s easy to spot what’s broken in someone else’s life. What’s harder, even though it's deeply transformative, is pausing long enough to see the blind spots in our own. Many of us stumble through life either avoiding tough conversations or swinging the gavel with self-righteous certainty. Pastor Curt invites us to lay down the weight of condemnation and step into honest, humble self-reflection. By shifting from criticism to accountability, hearts can move from defensiveness to real change. Instead of trying to "fix" others, find the freedom in looking at your own heart and asking God to guide you further. Scriptures Referenced: Matthew 7:1–7, Matthew 7:15-23, Luke 7:36-50, John 3:17, John 9:39, John 10:7, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Key InsightsSelf-examination must come before confronting the faults of others.True discernment means offering love without sliding into silent approval.Fruitful lives are marked by humility, not just outward activity or words.Asking God honestly opens the door to unexpected provision and change. Key Sections00:00:00 - Honest Self-Reflection When all you see are other people’s flaws, relationships get stuck and your own blind spots grow. Pastor Curt unpacks why confronting your own brokenness is the only path to empathy and real relational progress. 00:09:49 - Practice Humble Discernment There’s a world of difference between calling out sin out of love and standing over someone in condemnation. Move from judgmentalism to genuine discernment that brings people together, not drives them apart. 00:18:43 - Test the Fruit Ever felt lost about whom to trust? Pastor Curt points to Jesus’ challenge to recognize people by their fruit—lives marked by consistent, humble growth, not just impressive talk or big gestures. 00:34:11 - Live Out What You Hear It’s one thing to agree with truth; it’s another to build your life on it. Here’s your invitation to move beyond lip service and let humility shape your actions, opening the door to belonging and deeper spiritual freedom. https://springhousemidweek.captivate.fm/episode/planks-specks-fruit-trees Subscribe & Follow the Podcast Download our app Our Website Online Tithes & Offerings Join our Livestream Gathering TimesSundays, 9:00 AMSundays, 11:00 AMThursdays, 6:00 PM Contact InfoSpringhouse Church14119 Old Nashville HighwaySmyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License 2070006

Do Not Worry

We’ve all sung songs and said prayers that felt more routine than real... almost like we’re just near God, but not really with Him. The divide between proximity and true intimacy is subtle but critical. Pastor Wayne talks about this struggle. He shows how easy it is to stay distant from God instead of getting close, which leads to real change and moves us toward a rich, honest relationship with God. He doesn’t just diagnose the problem; he maps the way forward through kingdom priorities and practical posture—individually and together. There’s no secret formula or shame here. Just a simple, direct invitation: move closer. Let’s discover how humility, reverence, and kingdom-first living open the door to deep belonging and real spiritual traction. Scriptures Referenced: Deuteronomy 5:7; Matthew 5:1–2, 6:33; Colossians 3:1–4; Job 29:7–25. Key Insights:Intimacy with God must be chosen over mere proximity.True worship involves private surrender and collective devotion.Kingdom priorities demand a reordering of what comes first in your life.Righteousness is lived, not inherited; growth flows from practice, not theory. Key Sections:00:00:00 - Vertical and Horizontal Worship When life and worship grow stale, it’s easy to slip into autopilot. Here, Pastor Wayne contrasts individual longing with the power of collective devotion, showing why both matter and how each reveals the state of your heart. 00:13:38 - The Posture of Discipleship Ever feel like a spectator in your own faith? Discover what it looks like to move from a crowd mentality to the humble seat at the feet of the Teacher, and why posture always impacts what you receive. 00:20:16 - Proximity Is Not Intimacy Why settle for being nearby when you can be known? Pastor Wayne illustrates—with both humor and truth—the difference between being near God and actually connecting deeply, then opens the door to a more honest, relational walk. https://springhousemidweek.captivate.fm/episode/do-not-worry Subscribe & Follow the Podcast Download our app Our Website Online Tithes & Offerings Join our Livestream Gathering TimesSundays, 9:00 AMSundays, 11:00 AMThursdays, 6:00 PM Contact InfoSpringhouse Church14119 Old Nashville HighwaySmyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License 2070006

Treasures

We all sense it: the anxious drive to grab hold of more, fearing loss or being left behind. Pastor Will names the grind and invites you to trace its roots with honesty, seeing how the fleeting nature of stuff and status leaves us restless and divided. What if the problem isn’t out there, but what we treasure, how we see, and whom we serve? Jesus’ ancient wisdom offers more than rules—it’s a soul-level diagnostic that uncovers blind spots and sets you on a freer path. Together, take a fresh look at earthly treasures, the lens through which you view life, and the subtle loyalties pulling at your devotion. It’s not about shame or striving, but learning to desire what lasts. Accept the challenge: realign vision, trust the One who sees you, and step into a generosity and clarity the world can’t steal. Scriptures Referenced: Matthew 6:19–24 Key Insights: What you treasure reveals your true priorities and shapes your heart.Spiritual health depends on what influences your vision of reality.Divided loyalty always results in confusion and anxiety—serving God brings freedom.True generosity flows when you recognize everything is God’s. Key Moments 00:00:00 - Unpacking True Treasure Everyone fears loss, collects “just in case,” and tries to protect what’s theirs—yet frustration and emptiness remain. Pastor Will refuses to sidestep the anxiety, guiding you through the reality that storing up more never brings lasting security. 00:15:24 - Spiritual Diagnostics When your soul seems restless, it’s not just emotion. Jesus’ words act like a spiritual MRI—revealing layers we prefer to ignore. This is a chance to courageously ask what shapes your joy and peace. 00:38:31 - Choosing Your Master Trying to hold both God and wealth in your heart? Pastor Will exposes the myth of multitasking devotion, helping you name your hidden masters and pointing to the freedom of clarity in serving One. https://springhousemidweek.captivate.fm/episode/treasures Subscribe & Follow the Podcast Download our app Our Website Online Tithes & Offerings Join our Livestream Gathering TimesSundays, 9:00 AMSundays, 11:00 AMThursdays, 6:00 PM Contact InfoSpringhouse Church14119 Old Nashville HighwaySmyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License 2070006

He shares simple advice for being real, no matter if people are watching or not.
